Purple Fruited Pea Eggplant is a thorny creeper with bluish violet flower, more commonly available in Southern India has been used traditionally in Siddha system of medicines to treat various diseases. This species is globally distributed.

Some times back each Indian reserved this plant and made use of it. Now a days it is rare to get. 

My father planted it as a beautifying creeper in front of our house. With the small fruits hanging like small grapes , the color was attractive. But at that age i used to play with the fruits.

 When making a paste as thuvaiyal  or Indian soup the bitterness cannot be felt. 
 In one  study, aqueous methanol and n-butanol extracts of aerial parts of Solanum trilobatum L.

(Solanaceae) were tested for antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. From the results, it was

found that extracts from leaves, flowers, stem and fruits revealed antimicrobial activity against Gram (+)

and Gram (-) bacteria. Maximal antibacterial activity was seen against Klebsiella with aqueous extract

whereas methanol extract of stem showed maximal activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The

Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) exhibited by S. trilobatum aqueous extracts against tested

organisms ranged between 0.06-0.5 mg/ml. Presence of tannins, saponins, flavanoides, phenolic

compounds, cardiac glycosides and carbohydrates indicates S. trilobatum, is one of the potential

medicinal plant for therapeutic use.
